In this paper, we completely classify all compact 4-manifolds with positive isotropic curvature. We show that they are diffeomorphic to S4, or RP4 or quotients of S3×R by a cocompact fixed point free subgroup of the isometry group of the standard metric of $\m…
We exhibit the first examples of compact orientable hyperbolic manifolds that do not have any spin structure. We show that such manifolds exist in all dimensions n≥4. The core of the argument is the construction of a compact orientable hyperbolic 4-manifold M that contains a surface S of genus 3 with sel…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold M without boundary, we show that large isoperimetric regions in M×Rk are tubular neighborhoods of M×{x}, with x∈Rk.
The purpose of this paper is to classify all compact manifolds modeled on the 4-dimensional solvable Lie group Sol14. The maximal compact subgroup of Isom(Sol14) is D4=Z4⋊Z2. We shall exhibit an infra-solvmanifold with Sol14-geometry whose holonomy is D4. This implies that all …
In this paper, we introduce the notion of maximal actions of compact tori on smooth manifolds and study compact connected complex manifolds equipped with maximal actions of compact tori. We give a complete classification of such manifolds, in terms of combinatorial objects, which are triples (Δ,h,G) of n…
In this note we prove that a four-dimensional compact oriented half-confor\-mally flat Riemannian manifold M4 is topologically S4 or CP2, provided that the sectional curvatures all lie in the interval [433−5,1]. In addition, we use the notion of biorthogonal (…
We study the possibility of realizing exotic smooth structures on punctured simply connected 4-manifolds as leaves of a codimension one foliation on a compact manifold. In particular, we show the existence of uncountably many smooth open 4-manifolds which are not diffeomorphic to any leaf of a codimension one trans…
Inspired by the role geometric structures play in our understanding of surfaces and three-manifolds, and Berger's observation that a surface of constant sectional curvature is determined up to local isometry by its Laplace spectrum, we explore the extent to which compact locally homogeneous three-manifolds are characte…
Let Mn be a compact Kähler manifold with bisectional curvature bounded from below by 1. If diam(M)=π/2 and vol(M)>vol(CPn)/2n, we prove that M is biholomorphically isometric to CPn with the standard Fubini-Study metric.
Theorem A. Let Mn denote a closed Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature and let M~n be the universal cover of Mn with the lifted metric. Suppose that the universal cover M~n contains no totally geodesic embedded Euclidean plane R2 (i.e., Mn is a visibility manif…
We classify compact conformally flat n-dimensional manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature and satisfying an optimal integral pinching condition: they are covered isometrically by either Sn with the round metric, S1×Sn−1 with the product metric or $\mathbb{S}^{1…
We prove that a critical metric of the volume functional on a 4-dimensional compact manifold with boundary satisfying a second-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor must be isometric to a geodesic ball in a simply connected space form R4, H4 or S4. Moreover, we provide…
We classify the isoparametric functions on Rn×Mm, n,m≥2, with compact level sets, where Mm is a connected, closed Riemannian manifold of dimension m. Also, we classify the isoparametric hypersurfaces in S2×R2 with constant principal curvatures.
Using the implicit function theorem, we prove existence of solutions of the so-called conformally covariant split system on compact 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. They give rise to non-Constant Mean Curvature (non-CMC) vacuum initial data for the Einstein equations. We investigate the conformally covariant split s…
Let Y be a closed 3-manifold such that all flat SU(2)-connections on Y are non-degenerate. In this article, we prove a Uhlenbeck-type compactness theorem on Y for stable flat SL(2,C) connections satisfying an L2-bound for the real curvature. Combining the compactness theorem and a previous…
In this short note, using Siu-Yau's method [14], we give a new proof that any n-dimensional compact Kahler manifold with positive orthogonal bisectional curvature must be biholomorphic to Pn.
We prove the following result: Let (M,g0) be a compact manifold of dimension n≥12 with positive isotropic curvature. Then M is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or the total space of an orbifiber bundle over S1 or I with generic fiber diffeomorphic to Sn−1/Γ such …
